Instead of focusing attention on a stupid balloon that our intelligence knows all about

[lees1975]

and knows what to do, worrying about what China might be spying on, let's focus on Putin's spy, Trump, his infiltration into the GOP ranks and their very real subversion.

Let's focus on getting Trump indicted and tried and convicted now, not after the 2024 campaign is in full swing.

2. Yep we are being distracted with nonsense for a reason.

4. I think the government is big enough to handle both. If not, we're in big trouble.

I haven't found the balloon story the least bit distracting, and I appreciate interesting updates on the topic. We can, you know, hold two ideas in our brain simultaneously. Maybe even 10 or 20...

5. Agreed. File under the "able to walk and chewing gum at the same time" category.

[bluboid]

6. words of wisdom.

7. Damn right

And the highest level FBI agents selling info to Russia. This recent being a second one. Robert Hanssen from 2002. And Rand Paul hand delivering info to Putin from Trump, days after a dozen Congressmen went to Moscow on July 4th.
Do we actually think Jina does not have satellite’s with best technology in the world watching our asses. Hell most our satellites have parts supplied by Jina. And Ivanka has Patents on them. If the Balloon freaks people out, maybe cut off your damn smart phone.

8. there are spy satellites and spy ships off the coast and spies in Washington,

an ex-president with classified doc's but the hundreds and we are worried about a balloon at 60K feet.
Give me a brake for christ sake.

9. Esp now w Russian balloon too, I think it's another pre-SOTU stunt to steal Joe's momentum and tip

The skills to the Republicans. Remember last year right before the state of the union and what Putin did?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. Hey, here's a thought,

maybe, just maybe, we can do both at the same time?

We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
